Journal B is the first online magazine for the city of Bern – the swiss Federal City – focusing on everyday, political and cultural subjects. The development of the project was led by Apps with love. Responsible for the design, Alice Kuhn and Manuel Schibli brought us in to work on a custom typeface. Our Aleksei was also chosen for the text. This was the opportunity for us to focus on the subject of webfonts and improve Aleksei for the web.
The Journal B typeface was designed by Yassin Baggar and Manuel Schibli.
